Shire Systems has announced the
arrival of Pirana 3, with the most
comprehensive materials
management capability ever supplied
by Shire. The integrated CMMS is
said to enable users to drive down
operating costs while increasing
uptime and reducing incidents.

Shire says fast speed of response
and repair are key performance
measures in the reactive maintenance
environment and are impossible
unless the on-hand availability of
spare parts is assured. It’s the same in
proactive maintenance environments.

Work stops and the customer must
wait when spares are not at hand.

A CMMS with the power of
Pirana offers a solution, making it
easy to control all spares and
suppliers – technically and financially
– and no matter how many.
Shire says that gaining proper
control of maintenance materials can
increase plant availability by more
than 5%, drive up maintenance
productivity by 15% and slash the
cost of materials by 25%.

The company says that with its
Pirana system, payback is measured
in weeks not years.
